Default Pointless to use Integra RS brake booster and MC on stock Civic VX?

I'm in the process of finding a replacement for my faulty MC and brake booster and wanted to see if there is any benefit in using an Integra RS one.

I don't plan on upgrading my brakes and I'm not even sure if I'll end up replacing the rear drums with a disc set (unless if I can still use my stock 13" VX wheels on them), so if not, is it still worth it?

I wouldn't mind a nice pedal feel with the RS brake booster but other than that, wanted to get your input.

Thanks.

Yes, you can upgrade your rears to disc and still use the VX rims.

As for the booster - I don't believe there is any advantage to using a larger booster whilst retaining the same size brakes.

However, if changing the rears to disc, consider using the correct prop valve from an Si hatch (also available on other 92-95 Civic models). There are many instructive DIYs on the swap process.
